Layout margins in cm

Some how layout margins are appearing in cm on report design layout.
I would like them to be setup in inches.
Layout margins come up as inches on other developers machines.
How can I set it up so that I get margins as inches and not cm.
Please help.
TIA..Hi sqlster,
You should be able to simply type in 0.5in for a margin.
Is your language set to "English (United States) in the report properties?
IT may be defaulting to metric based on that, but in any case, you should be
able to type "in" after your numbers and it should be in inches.
I hope that helps!

I'm sorry, I haven't got a clue. The only thing I can think of is that your
regional options are set to metric on that computer. Have you checked that?
If you go into control panel, regional and Language Options, then
customize, there is a measurement system at the bottom that should be US and
not Metric.
Other than that, make sure the properties of the report have the right
language selected, and if it still happens, I'm at a loss.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help...
